March 1974: First few weeks

The heritage group was formed in 1973 and immediately set out to find a location along the old Comen Vally line. Some of our members also started to look for a locomotive and rolling stock.

In the spring of 1974 the site of Langdale station, was put forward by the town's council, and the group accepted.

Here is a few pictures from when we first arrived and the last picture is about 1 month later. In this month we managed to clear the platform from weeds and the first few things to the railway arrived.
